Mouse freezes while using Firefox. No other programs affected. Also in safe mode. Tried reinstall without resolution. Disabled Addons. Happens especially while loading pages but also at other times.

Hi.
The mouse freezes when using firefox. No other programs are causing this problem, which stops immediately once I use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to delete the firefox task.
I have done a full uninstall of firefox after trying safe mode without resolution. I deleted the install directory to make sure that no files remained in the default installation area.

Hmm...that's the last place I'd expect an issue?
EDIT: Wait... if you didn't migrate the first time you booted up the system in Setup Assistant than you may have created another Home folder. Check your /Users in Safe Mode.
Thought twice about cracking open a new MBP, but spent quite a bit of cash fitting SSDs in 2 desktops and a laptop 6 months ago, so didn't feel like coughing up another 600 USD again.
Yes, that what I thought and in concept it's a good idea but I'm actually quite hardware challenged myself, so wouldn't even dream of it
Again, there's a lot of savvy hardware folks here, so I hope you get some concrete help.

no crash ids since this is version 3.6, the only version that doesn't crash, and I have to use Firefox for work stuff.
I have submitted over a hundred crash reports and included my email, but no one has ever contacted me with any help. This has been going on for weeks. I have been forced to use an outdated version of FF because no one has bother to get back to me. I would be happy to update to 14 and start the crash cycle again if someone wants to give me some suggestions I haven't tried already.
BTW, no font conflicts or RAM problems, (someone else's issue)

Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

Java applet freezes while loading on Firefox on Mac OS 10.9

I am using Mac OS 10.9.4 with Firefox 32 and Java 7 update 67. The java applet freezes while loading for the first time. On double clicking, it loads successfully. Once the applet gets loaded then it loads successfully until the web-page is refreshed or cache is cleared. I don't see any error message or any errors in the java console logs. Any help on this issue, apart from the double click work around? Any permanent solution?

This delay can also happen when Java has been unloaded from memory and needs to be reloaded from disk and (re)initialized.
You may be tight on available (free) memory if this happens all the time.

My iMac freezes when using Firefox

My iMac freezes when using Firefox. We have to restart our computer.

TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.
[edited to add:]
After browsing through related problems in the discussions, I saw this link to a third-party web site being handed out. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Safari freezes while loading

I am running Safari 4.03 on a G4 Mac with os x 10.4.11.
About once a day, Safari will freeze while loading a page. The stop loading button does nothing. Eventually I have to force quit. Anyone know anything?

I'm kinda a noobie to a mac so forgive me if this is lame. I was reading this post and i have kinda the same problem except when i go to open safari it just flashes and says that it can't be opened. I have reset safari and emptied the cache and it still won't open. Although sometimes when i go to open safari if i click on the top sites button in the far left corner when trying to open safari it will open that way and let me use safari to surf anywhere i propose to search. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets

Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets when I am working on my template and songs. If I create 1 track in a new empty project there is no problem with Space designer.

And with Logic 8, I am stumped as to how to find all of my samples and virtual instruments that I used in Logic 7...Where is the "folder" that I drag my Sampler Folder alias into? Any clues?

Thank you for the link, but I am not sure how this is going to help me: I am not booting straight to an X session, but prefer to log into TTY1 and have my login shell handle everything from there.
Here is the relevant part of my .zprofile:
if (( UID )); then
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec systemd --user
fi
As far as I understand, your method works if I enable the [email protected] template when actually booting straight to X.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

CPU peaks 35-40% while loading page - very unresponsive

After upgrading to 10.0.2 my browser has become very unresponsive while loading pages/opening blank tabs.
I've already tried safe mode with all plugins deactivated and a full reinstall.
My plugins are up to date, I do not use custom themes and it doesn't matter what kind of page I'm loading. Seems like its the engine itself.
Running a Win7 x64 notebook - I did not have this issues before the latest update.

It would be worth experimenting with turning Hardware Acceleration on and off. If you have HA enabled but it is not working properly it is likely to cause problems. (If you are using FlashPlayer video that has its own controls for setting HA on or off). To turn HA off in ordinary browsing use
* Firefox Button -> Options -> | Advanced | -> | General | -> [] Use Hardware acceleration when available
** see [[Options window - Advanced panel]]
* you may also wish to see if the Graphics drivers will update
** see [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?]]
* you may also be interested in this article, including a test that you can run <br/>http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
It is looking like some of the problems could relate more to the system, than to Firefox.

Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.

If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

When I try to open my firefox page, page starts trying to connect,after sometime box/message comes up "connection has been reset while loading page"
Try again.

Firefox crashes whether or not opened in Safe Mode

I removed several programs of what I thought were bloatware on my PC a few weeks ago, but have not been able to operate Firefox since.
I have tried a System Restore, I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox 10 numerous times.
When trying to open Firefox whether by usual operation or in Safe Mode, it still crashes.

Uninstalled 10.0.1, installed 10.0.2 and tried to 'Launch Firefox' directly from install. Crash. Tried to open in safe mode. Crash.
Tried to retrieve crash report ID, Windows Search tells me nothing matches
"%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted" when I search it.
Otherwise I would have provided that information.
